The Christmas Stone Angel would make a wonderful centerpiece during holidays.  I show her here with red bead garland and halo.  However, you could drape other decorations for Easter, Halloween, etc.  Her head is sculpted clay with a body, wings and clothing made of quality woven cotton, with lace at the neckline.  The  clothing is stiffened with an acrylic paint mixture to resemble a Stone Angel Statue.  She stands 25 1/2" tall, has well formed fingers and toes. 

Stone Angel is meant to be an inside work of art that would look lovely in a garden bath area, a sunroom with plants, and a center piece for holidays.  Easter you could put vintage post cards between her thumbs and fingers. 

This is a technique taught me by the talented Cat Mahone.  Stone Angel may be yours for $65 plus shipping.
